Japan’s US-made Aegis missile defence system could be used for offensive purposes, warned Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov during his annual news conference in Moscow on Monday.
He said that Russia has data which shows that the missile system “is based on universal suitable launcher that is able to use strike weapons” and that “allegedly Japan will operate this system, USA will not have any relation to it, but we have serious doubts that it is so.”
The Russian diplomat also stated that Moscow and Tokyo hope to increase their joint economic activity on the disputed Kuril Islands, which Japan calls the Northern Territories.
